My card was stolen and used to book hotel with Agoda. Couldn’t get my money back for the service that I didn’t use

Worst experience in my 20 years of travel experience....
My booking was confirmed till my arrival...where I discovered that the owner did not confirm my booking.
No solutions proposed..unless." we are sorry, we will cancel your booking with no fees"
Never again...and I highly not recommend it for any one
To jump on Agoda answer...all the procedure that is mentioned was done and completed...I get in touch with the customer support..and request an agent to talk.
I called no answer, unless a chat bot answering.
My booking ID was 601076751 in case it will help, but not sure as the harm is already done.
I was with my family, waiting 2 hours

As long as nothing goes wrong, Agoda works great.
The moment you actually need support? You’re talking to an AI wall.
A simple date mistake turned into a nightmare: endless automated replies, zero real help.
The hotel fixed everything within minutes and approved the cancellation — yet Agoda kept insisting it was denied, completely out of sync with reality.
Customer service that simply doesn’t exist when you actually need it.

Booking ID: 1669****1187
My name is Yusuf D.
I had a confirmed reservation for Noxinn Deluxe Hotel (Alanya, Türkiye) for May–June 2026. After 5 months, this confirmed booking was cancelled without any valid justification.
This is already unacceptable, but what makes it worse is Agoda’s response.
Instead of providing a real solution, Agoda keeps insisting that I should pay for a new reservation myself and then “after the trip” they will “review” it.
This means I am expected to take all financial risk again, with absolutely no guarantee.
Hotel prices today are significantly higher than they were 5 months ago. Despite this, Agoda has refused:
Any direct compensation (price difference, damages, etc.)
Any fully covered alternative reservation without requiring payment from me
For more than 3 weeks, they have failed to provide any concrete or reliable solution and continue repeating the same scripted responses.
In my previous complaint, they even claimed that communication through this platform was “not secure” and avoided engaging here, which appears to be another way of deflecting responsibility and covering up their lack of a real solution.
At this point, it is clear that:
A confirmed booking does not guarantee anything
Customer protection is not taken seriously
Responsibility is avoided rather than resolved
I have filed formal complaints with consumer authorities and initiated legal proceedings to recover my damages.
I strongly warn others:
Do not rely on Agoda for important travel plans. If something goes wrong, you may be left completely on your own and forced to take financial risk.

I found Agofa better than some of the older booking apps mostly in price, i guess the others have become too greedy and travellinga lot 20 euros here 20 there it all adds up. There's loads of promo coupons that actually don't do anything, if you compare with the hotel itself or other search engines don't actually help, in some cases it's even higher... I found it rigid when booking and wanting to have the VAT separate for reimbursement so if you want that booking direct with the hotel it's the best bet.
I’ve had a really positive experience using Agoda. What stands out most for me is how they offer very competitive prices along with free cancellation options. That’s really important to me when booking hotels because plans can change, and it gives me peace of mind knowing I won’t be stuck if things don’t go ahead.
Even with free cancellation included, the rates are still very good, often better than other competitors. That’s honestly the main reason I keep coming back. I feel reassured booking through Agoda because I know I’m getting a great deal without losing flexibility.
Because of this, I rarely feel the need to search elsewhere. Agoda consistently offers strong prices from the start, and the added security of free cancellation makes the whole booking process feel easy and stress free.
I was disappointed with Agoda’s booking system and lack of clear communication.
It was hard to get understood by customer service but finally they refunded me

Simple site to use.
Good prices offered for the accommodation I required.
Book now pay later option very useful.
What's not to like ? Thank you 👍
Quite easy to use. Secure bookings. Good prices compared to some other websites.
Zero Customer Support and Unfair Pricing - Booking ID:648742651
I am extremely disappointed with Agoda’s lack of transparency and nonexistent customer service. I stayed at Hotel Moonlight in Kathmandu from April 20-23, and I was charged a price significantly higher than the hotel’s standard rates. It appears that an excessive and unfair commission was applied to my booking.
I have tried to contact Agoda customer service multiple times through the app and email to dispute this discrepancy, but I have received absolutely no response. It is impossible to reach a human representative. Even the hotel management is waiting for a clarification on this overcharge, yet Agoda remains silent.
I demand an immediate investigation into my booking ID [RESERVATION NO 648742651) and a refund of the price difference under the "Best Price Guarantee" policy. Ignoring customers is not a professional business practice. I will also be initiating a chargeback through my bank if this is not resolved immediately.
(AGODA also made my reservation via EXPEDIA .That was confirmed by the Hotel Manager. AGODA has to explain this. That is why I could not contact with the hotel customer service at all. As it was guaranteed on the page , yet the hotel did not pick me from the airport.)

Simple n easy to get my booking done as it's for business purposes! Probate/ IHT issues!
Unavoidable trip!
A fraudulent platform.
They stole my money and didn’t pay the Hostel I was supposed to stay at.
They are literal thiefs

Samantha and Theo provided great service during the middle of the night when I needed to change my phone. I’ll definitely come back again to see them at Thistle Hotel London. Keisha was also very helpful during the check-in process.
Automatically entered dates when I made the booking and I didn't realise it was wrong until after I completed the booking. My bad. Could not change dates and was charged a 100% cancellation fee. I know it was my fault for not checking properly but a partial credit should have been given, I can understand an admin fee for changing is warranted but not that much. Won't be using them ever again.

Reply from Agoda
Absolutely appalling company. Do not book through them. They canceled our booking without permission and we have tried multiple times to sort it without any response. We have lost 1000s of dollars due to their mistake. We are very unhappy and do not recommend at all.
